Alex's POV2

"I'm Lissi!" The girl with the strong southern accent said.3

"I'm Alex," I said, checking out the large room.4

"Your family left already?" She asked. 5

I nodded. Mama thought it would be better to make it a clean, quick break for Miguel. I could tell already Lissi's innocence was ignoring myself being Latino. 6

A man a woman walked in the room, with two little boys. 7

"Oh Mom, Pop, this is my roommate, Alex," Lissi said.8

Her parents judged me immediately.9

"Hello dear," Said her mother quickly.10

"This is my brother, Duke, he's 12, and my other brother Tristan, he's 6," Lissi recited. 11

"Nice to meet you," I said smiling. 12

With that I gave them their goodbyes and walked outside the room. I quickened my pace in the halls, confused a bit, as guys were flirting and girls were rolling their eyes.13

Once outside, I took a deep breath, still thinking I was in a dream. While in my semi conscious state, I felt myself slam into something hard as bricks. I looked up to see a tall boy with sandy blond hair. He half smiled and I tried to snake away. 14

"I'm Logan," He said. 15

I stopped, frozen.16

"Alex,".17

"Short for?".18

"Alejandra,".19

"You don't give long answers do you?".20

"Not really,".21

I turned around now, to see his tan skin, obviously by countless hours in the sun, on beaches no doubt, checking out white girls with bikinis riding up their ass. He had baby blue eyes, that topped off his "perfected" guy.22

"Where you from?" He asked.23

"Where do I look from?" I asked, rudely. I knew his type all too well.24

"I don't know. New York?" He asked, knowing we were in the middle of New York. 25

"I was born in Mexico, but raised in California," I said.26

"No shit? I'm from there!" He said winking.27

"No shit!?" I said sarcastically. 28

"Do you have a problem, or um, many?" He asked.29

I shrugged and said,"It's just that your all the same. You cool guys. Your sizing me up right now in fact,".30

"No I'm not," He said, trying to sound honest. 31

"Latino babe, probably insecure surrounded by all these white guys and gals, so any confidence boost would be easy. Easy enough to screw her over within two weeks, many less," I said, smiling.32

"You just described a jerk. I'm really not one," He said.33

"Sure,".34

I wish it was that easy.
